Either David or his parents _________ at home.

• A. is
• B. are
• C. was
• D. aren't

Answer 1

The correct option is B are

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical center of the predicate in a sentence.

An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.

Option B is correct as the sentence talks about something in general. Therefore, only simple present can be used. ( Either David or his parents is plural)

The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.

The correct answer is B)are
